Why Seeking Security Brings Insecurity? Jiddu Krishnamurti

Human beings always search for security. We want to feel safe in money, in job, in family, in relationships, and even in religion. We want something permanent, something that will never fail.

But life is never fixed. Jobs change, health changes, relationships change, and even our beliefs change. When we cling to these things for security, we live in constant fear of losing them. This clinging itself creates insecurity.

Krishnamurti explains that the very search for psychological security is the root of insecurity. When we say, “I must hold on to this forever,” the mind becomes anxious. The desire for certainty makes us prisoners of fear.

Real security cannot be found in things outside us. It comes only when the mind is free from clinging and attachment. When the mind accepts that life is uncertain and learns to live fully in the present, there is strength and peace.

Security is not in beliefs, not in possessions, not in relationships—it is in freedom from fear.
